BUSH HAS THE MO [KJL]
That's the GOP message tonight as they work to the ends of the continental U.S. and beyond--to Honolulu!! Bush/Cheney is confident this Saturday night. They believe these last days will prove they have made significant inroads throughout the U.S. at the grassroots level. Starting yesterday, 150,000 volunteers are working in the tightest states, contacting 18 million voters to get out the vote for W. They say they’ve registered 3.4 million more Republicans since the last presidential election. That those GOTVers are volunteers, too, they say is significant.
In Florida alone—on Friday alone—GOP officials say volunteers knocked on 170,000 doors and made 200,000 calls. Though E Day they expect those numbers to hit 17,000 volunteers will 800,000 doors and 1.2 million calls. Just in Florida, a state where they’ve been confident for more than a few days now. But it’s not lackluster in Ohio either. GOP officials are saying 14,000 volunteers will knock on 400,000 doors and make 990,000 calls.

He's saying the party line/bluffing/delusional/prepping for feigned surprise as part of Operation SoreLoserman II.
Maybe not... Remember Dukakis?
Dubya needs the BIG mo! (Ah, no offense to the gender challenged intended...)
I have no idea where those numbers come from. Think about it. They DO NOT read the votes in any voting machine until the polls close on Tuesday. As for exit polls, there's no way to do efficient exit polling on early voter patterns...it's just too unpredictable precinct by precinct.
That said, I suspect a lot of the "condo crowd" has been voting early...so I do expect Kerry would lead in that category. But he's not going to take Florida. Bet on it.
Yeah, he said it right after he dragged out the Tora Bora BS again. Deperation reigns...
He campaigned up until about 5 pm the nite before as I remember and went to texas where he did what candidates do, they spend election day with family, friends, vote and sit around. Al gore campaigned all nite long if you remember, he was crazed, he actually campaigned all election day if I remember, I could be wrong. But I do know he did an all nighter.
Even in the most unchurched state of the US (Washington) (and coincidentally with the highest rate of children going to bed hungry... tie those together please in the name of "compassionate liberals") Christian radio, TV and the pulpits have been hammering this "vote" message for months.
Think he'll go so far as setting up an alternate White House in one of his, er, Terraayyyzzzaaa's mansions?
How do John Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and Michael Moore fit into his cabinet? :-)
The silent majority? I sure hope and believe this is so.
However coming from the campaign it could be spin too, who knows, it won't be long now, hopefully.
If Bush loses I'll be depressed about it the rest of my life.
BUT I have never believed that would happen.
Yeah, the Al-QaQaa thing was this year's DUI, and it's a dud. I don't expect they have any more ammo, just a little bit of spin here and there.
***Kerry campaign, just like their candidate, has NO sense of humor.***
The Dims just keep getting more and more shrill and angry, while the Reps are still civil and smiling and calmly pointing out the Pres.' view.
Can we say DESPARATION?!?!?! TEEHEE!

How do you feel feel about Kerry calling 9/11 " a raid " by bin Laden in an interview to WISN, in Milwaukee on Friday.
"Democrat, Republican, there's no such thing," Kerry said. "There's just America and we are all united in hunting down and
capturing or killing those who conducted THAT RAID and we always knew that that was Osama bin Laden."
Kudos to Freeper ellery, on a prior thread, for finding the quote buried in the AP article-
" Bush, Kerry Spar Over Bin Laden Video " AP ^ | Oct 29 | MARY DALRYMPLE and TERENCE HUNT
Bon Jovi--head of AARP
Bruce--head of Secret Service (he's been "undercover" as "non-partisan" for thirty years, just happens to always support Democrats--and of course no one can see through that disguise)
Michael Moore--Head of Dept. Of Disinformation/FDA...or Kerry's food taster
Yea and then came 9/11, this time is different IMHO.
Yes, and no. The locations, crowds and rhetoric at the Kery, Edwards, Bush and Cheney speaking events show that Kerry is desperate and Bush is confident. Look at their schedules--why in the world would Kerry need to go to Madison, WI four days out from the election, much less bring Bruce Springsteen to ensure a big crowd?
That question may be less rhetorical than you probably meant it. Fox had a guy on today that seemed pretty non-partisan and when he was told Kerry's picks for the cabinet positions he came up with at least one or two reasons for each person that that person would NOT be a good pick or would not be able to be make it through the senate. Not one of his picks were acceptable to this guy. It almost looked like a SNL skit.
I told my husband, if Kerry can't even pick a respectable cabinet then how could he hope to do anything right. That is the most important thing, to put the right people around him.
I for one think Bush has the best cabinet - with the possible exception of Powell and only because he seemed a little squishy to me.
If there is any new real October Suprise, then we should know within 24 hours. I personally think the surprise will be about 8:30pm Tuesday night when al these news anchors try to explain what happened.
What kind of responses did you get? I got a call the other day and I told the volunteer we were counting the minutes until Tuesday so we could cast our votes. He could tell we were going to vote no matter what!
